Pathfinder Team -

I'm uncertain how to collect additional data for you to assist in debugging this, however, my Pathfinder 7, especially lately, has been eating large amounts of memory and never cleans up (or frees) it. It's causing the Mac to OOM (Out Of Memory), in which case the Mac pops up a dialog telling me it suspended applications with the option to force quit applications to free system memory.

In the most recent case, upon receiving a system out of memory error, the activity monitor showed PathFinder as using 45 GB of RAM.

REQUEST: If there are diagnostic logs or other data I can submit to assist in tracking down the root cause, please do let me know!
